Part Two

Compulsory support module in Part Two:

Assessment of the Thesis

The thesis is approximately 45,000 words and is assessed in the same way and against the same criteria as other Lancaster University PhDs. There will be a viva voce (conducted via video conference where preferred). External and internal examiners will be appointed to examine each student's thesis.

For information: Whilst this programme is undertaken entirely online, the Certificate produced on successful completion of the course will say "Doctor of Philosophy in Higher Education: Research, Evaluation and Enhancement", with no mention of the mode of delivery.

PhD Community

Whether based on campus or a distance learner, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
